There is a small town in the New York country side known as Dryden. This small picturesque town is where people have picnics in the park and sleep with windows open and doors unlocked.
However, a dark history or blood and violence has plagued this area and outsiders have given it the nickname, Village of the Damned.
Are they townsfolk who live there damned? Or is this just a case of a lot of tragic incidents happening in the same location.
Grab a strong drink and snuggle in for this story as we cover the 5 crimes that have made people ask if Dryden is really The Village Of The Damned?
